4 "TEAMS" EYE USAC SPRINT HISTORY AT LAWRENCEBURG

The first two USAC National Sprint Car races this season
have produced 1-2 "team-car" finishes. That's the first time it's
happened back-to-back in the 46-year history of USAC National Sprint Car
competition!

At least four "teams" appear poised to try to extend
the record when the series visits Lawrenceburg (Ind.) Speedway Saturday
night. One team -- Tony Stewart Racing -- has entered three cars in an
attempt to record USAC's first-ever National Sprint Car 1-2-3 "sweep."

In 1,280 USAC National Sprint Car races since 1961 only
11 have resulted in 1-2 "team" victories. Stewart's team has accounted
for three with drivers J.J. Yeley, Kruseman, Jay Drake and Steele, as did
the Sherman Armstrong team, with drivers Chuck Gurney, Tom Bigelow, Greg
Leffler and Gary Bettenhausen. Drivers Bob Wente and Greg Weld gave the
Dunseth/Leffler Racing team USAC's first National Sprint Car 1-2 finish
in 1967 and Weld and Bruce Walkup repeated the feat for the same team
later in the year at Oklahoma City. Drivers Eddie Leavitt and Ron Shuman
gave Don Siebert a 1-2 finish at Reading, Pa. in 1977, while Johnny Vance
drivers Steve Kinser and Danny Smith were1-2 at Eldora in 1982 and
Gratton Motorsports drivers Hines and Steele were 1-2 at Indianapolis
Raceway Park in 2000.
